Do us a favor and post the outcome.

just tried to reset brake sensor light with the help of all the posts with no luck! i will be taking it back where i had the work done, it has to be a bad sensor or installed wrong! will post outcome

Did you check that there's a sensor back there? (And that it's not the old one....)

i was charged for new sensors on the invoice taking it back to have it checked

Position 2 for 30+ seconds didn't work?
If that doesn't work maybe they didn't put in a new sensors or they lost the little metal clip in the sensor.

Just for grins & giggles...try turning the ignition to POSITION 1 for 30 seconds instead of position 2.

i tried that also the darn light is still on thanks guys

Try this , I think this worked for me

1. Position 1 for 30-35 seconds then
2. Position 2 for 20-30 seconds. for me it went away at the point

So when I started it went away normally

Regards,

If all else fails short the sensor wires.

tried all posts no luck gotta be the sensors will see next week

thanks for posts i'll short out to know more

found that the front driver side sensor had cracked plastic connector and was taped. made secure connection, retaped, ignition in pos. wait 30 seconds key out them start no more light.thanks guys

Thanks for the update. That kind of coincidence (front sensor going out after the rear was worked on) makes diagnosis difficult.
